Episode Fine. If
0:27
there's one thing people love the beloved
0:29
in be bankrupted social commentator Michael Monkfish
0:31
once observed, it's a chase pursuit of
0:33
a hill and veil by cat after
0:36
mouse through day and night and all
0:38
the dreary December afternoons. weather is no
0:40
meaningful difference. The. Thrill of the
0:42
chase is something that binds people
0:44
together like shed customs, good food,
0:47
or in mountaineering scenarios Rope. And.
0:49
There were many opportunities an even greater London
0:52
to witness such cases. From
0:54
the-of businessmen after pickpockets to the
0:56
pursuit of milkman after pick bottles
0:58
to the don't bugle, blaze it
1:00
horseback ladies and terrified handsome older
1:02
gentleman of the annual Silver Fox
1:04
Hunt. And. On
1:06
one particular morning and eighteen eighty seven for
1:08
anyone in the vicinity of the factory town
1:10
of Burn a been on the city's northern
1:12
edge, they would have been treated to the
1:14
very start of the chasing by Inspector Fleet
1:17
and Clara and whistle of Miss France been.
1:19
Only child, heir to the company
1:21
occasional midnight tormentor of nearby villages
1:23
in her costume guys as the
1:25
Barguna and person of extreme interest
1:28
in the so called beast killings
1:30
after drugging the detectives, binding them
1:32
to chairs and fleeing both the
1:34
town and justice. Not. Knowing
1:36
where Francis was headed, Fleet and Clara
1:38
knew that what they needed most was
1:40
information and so they hurried to burn
1:42
Evens train station, her likely departure point
1:44
for a rapid get away. They.
1:47
Were born swiftly there on the mobile
1:49
laboratory vehicle of Pathologists Doctor Septimus Bell.
1:52
Who. then suddenly remembered about all the bodies probably
1:54
piling up in his lab back in the
1:56
city and began an urgent chase of his
1:58
own against time and decomposition Without
2:01
a moment to spare, Fleet and Clara
2:03
dashed along the station platform, and
2:05
found the door to the telegram
2:07
office, which was labelled, as was
2:09
the infuriating custom of telegram operators
2:11
everywhere, not with telegram office, nor
2:13
even open, but rather, dot dash,
2:15
dot dash dash dot, dot dash,
2:17
dot dot dot, dot dash dash,
2:20
dot dash, which was
2:22
code for ETPASWA, which
2:24
stood for enter this place and speak
2:26
with all, which was an impressive
2:28
statement that could be read by precisely none of the
2:31
people it was intended to impress. Here,
2:58
and then we can punch a little machine. Off
3:01
you go then. Fugitive. Ooh, gripping start.
3:03
You're the police. Um... Fugitive,
3:06
burn haven, female, early
3:08
20s, 5'6", lean build,
3:10
black hair, forehead curls, blue eyes,
3:13
sparse eyebrows, long neck, deep silt
3:15
trim, prominent right ear, helix, over
3:17
pronating, gait. Impressive.
3:19
Do me next. No. Oh,
3:21
probably improv and kite. Yeah, that it,
3:23
Clara? Her name? Oh, yes. Name,
3:27
Burn Francis. Oh, the owner's last.
3:30
Oh, blummin' hell. Oh,
3:32
anything else? No. Right
3:35
then. Fugitive, burn
3:37
haven, female, early 20s,
3:40

3:49
right ear, helix, over pronating, gait.
3:52
Name, Burn Francis.
3:55
And Where do you want this sent, then? London Central
3:58
North. That's the end of the line for me. Now
4:00
she's also super To go straight, they're aware
4:02
then. All. Stations.
4:05
Sorry. Oh send it, you'll central
4:07
routing have them relate to all train
4:09
stations in the city. That's.
4:12
Files I know. I
4:14
can't do that though. Even
4:16
all you I I am.
4:19
Detective. Chief Inspector All when
4:22
Keller Oh no because some identification
4:24
know I've lost it in a
4:26
fight with a tiger or something.
4:29
But. You can send central
4:32
routing my priority code
4:34
or was that Leviathan
4:36
Scarlet? Nineteen Rookery because
4:38
it's mine of course.
4:41
Of course, like all
4:43
stations, Took out her Scotland
4:45
Yard as well. You know that I'd. This.
4:48
Gives isn't well? then. That
4:56
Now do you want to take a seat in this? House
5:00
Quests fast probably those is one
5:02
some Scotland Yard don't listen to
5:04
this is tell our ignore those
5:06
it is I'm seller whoever has
5:08
done this I will enjoy that
5:11
know when I sound like obvious
5:13
and process was as other necessary
5:15
so that some stations Royce fugitive

5:36
and getting it off. Forty
5:38
three Earlier than love. For
5:40
the stations aren't listening to a job as
5:43
I just responded to asked asked in his
5:45
eyesight the lighting says is hopeless who knows
5:47
how many times he switched trains oh I.
5:50
Know have them talk to each other? The
5:52
stations. Have all of their messages
5:54
relate to censor routine not to Sars.
5:56
you want thousands of stations
5:59
oh took able to broadcast out
6:01
to every other station all at once,
6:04
round and round in a giant
6:06
circle, it'll be bedlam. They'll
6:08
be able to build on each other's sightings rather
6:10
than just blindly send them to us. It's the
6:12
only way. She's right. I,
6:15
Keller, say let's do it. Alright,
6:19
I'll just send that instruction to Central Rooting.
6:26
There. It'll take a second to circulate.
6:29
Oh, right, here we go. Hello.
6:33
Hello? No, this one just says
6:35
hello. It's from Stevenage. I'll write that in. Hello,
6:39
Stevenage. How are
6:41
you? Don't ask them how they are.
6:44
That's gonna have a thousand of stations.
6:46
Stevenage says they're fine.
6:48
Of course they're fine. You don't need to ask
6:50
to find that if someone's fine. That's the perpetual
6:52
answer to that question. Everyone at all times is
6:55
fine. Are you
6:57
fine? No. This is
6:59
Purrshaw Station. Hello, everybody. Lovely day.
7:02
Hope you're having a nice one. Hadley
7:04
Station here. Yes, I am. Thank you,
7:06
Purrshaw. Hope you are too. Nearly the
7:09
weekend. This is a nightmare.
7:11
Hadley Station. You owe me five
7:13
pounds. Don't worry. Trowbridge
7:16
Station here. Does anyone of you have a
7:18
copy of the timetable changes for next week?
7:20
I have lost mine. Many things. Perhaps
7:23
we need to remind them gently what
7:25
we're doing. Yes, all right. Telegram person,
7:27
Herbert. Find Herbert. Send them this. Stations,
7:30
this is Detective Chief Inspector Keller. Between
7:33
yourselves, figure out the last known
7:35
sighting of fugitives. Okay.
7:40
Same for station, says. Train arrived here.
7:42
Fugitives jumped under the 1015 to Brassburg.
7:46
Does anyone have her after that? Well,
7:48
for station here, woman alight at around 10.50.
7:51
Found her when no trains come in for
7:53
a few hours. So she stole an alt
7:55
from a box car and rode away up
7:57
speed. This is Ben Stigley.
8:00
Jigpot station here, not seeing
8:02
woman but can tell you
8:04
that bench pink witherton is 35
8:07
minutes from gruff growth station by horse.
8:10
Jigpot station says shut up! You can't possibly
8:14
know that. Jigpot, you're just down the
8:16
road. Why don't you come
8:18
up here and say that to my
8:21
face. Jigpot, you're just down the
8:24
road. Why don't you come
8:26
up here and say that to my
8:29
face. Jigpot replies, you're on.
8:31
Oxley, meet me outside the lemon
8:33
flag in an hour. We'll settle
8:35
this once and for all. Scotland
8:38
Yard, right? It's the Keller imposter again.
8:40
Don't listen to him. Scotland Yard, right?
8:43
What in all of boiling damn
8:45
nice is ever you done? I
8:48
will find whoever this is, nail
8:51
you to the side of a bat, light
8:54
the bath on fire, and
8:56
rain a torrent of poisonous
8:59
arrows upon the bath fire.
9:01
That's it. You'll be fine. And
9:09
my telegraphs have melted. Oh. They're
9:13
just not built for this volume of chat. Hold up,
9:16
there's one more. Came through just
9:18
before. Peterborough Interchange,
9:21
fugitive spotted 11.30am,
9:24
boarding the Gur.
9:26
Boarding the Gur? The message after
9:28
that is melted, so that's your lot. Boarding
9:31
the Gur. G-Y-R. Gyre? Gyroscope? Gyrate?
9:34
Gyratory? Gyratory? It's a line
9:36
circling the
9:40
city. Trains only go clockwise. It's a scenic
9:42
route. No changes between Peterborough and London Central
9:44
East. Then we've got her. We can just
9:47
telegram ahead. After all this covering her tracks,
9:49
she's not likely to risk getting off at
9:51
the station. More likely she'll try to slip
9:53
off just outside when the train slows down
9:55
and then disappear into central London. And
9:57
there is also that matter of... Of
10:00
course, the dozen melted telegraph machines.
10:02
The bill for which I should send to you, Chief
10:04
Inspector? Yes, send it to me,
10:07
at Scotland Yard. That's
10:09
going to be absolutely fine. If this
10:11
train is a scenic service, maybe we can
10:13
intercept it. Possibly, it goes quite far
10:16
around. Then we've got her! All we need
10:18
to do is to... Erm... Get
10:20
onto a moving train. Yes. Does
10:23
it slow down anywhere before it reaches London
10:25
Central? Oh, yes.
10:28
It'll have to. Where? When
10:30
it goes through Cambridge. Cambridge? I
10:32
thought you said it was underwater? It
10:35
is. Cambridge,
10:40
by all accounts, had once been a
10:42
lovely place. The ancient
10:44
stone colleges, the tingling of bicycle
10:46
bells, as keen undergraduates peddled between
10:48
tutorials, the noble swans who had
10:50
overheard and mastered the entirety of
10:53
the natural sciences curriculum, from students
10:55
revising on the riverbank. But
10:57
tragically, we're still forbidden to attend all but
10:59
two of the colleges. This,
11:02
of course, was before London's expansion. Some
11:05
said that a member of Brunelles' engineering corps
11:07
had made a terrible error of calculation while
11:09
diverting several rivers. Others said
11:11
that the Brunellians had tunnelled too vigorously
11:14
into a vast aquifer, and countless cubic
11:16
feet of water had spurted forth onto
11:18
the earth, like popped champagne. And
11:21
others still said that that comparison
11:23
was misleading, as champagne is French,
11:25
fizzy and joyous. Whereas what emerged
11:27
in Cambridge was English, still and
11:29
sad. Regardless, what
11:31
was done was done, and that
11:33
great university city, together with the
11:35
rest of Cambridge, was swallowed up
11:37
into the great Fenland Lake. The
11:40
citizens of London had lost an irreplaceable
11:42
centre of learning. On the
11:44
other hand, the swans had never been happier. Fleet
11:47
and Clara, meanwhile, who had been happier, hurried
11:50
along the most direct possible route to the
11:52
lake, and three train rides, two
11:54
cap trips and one dashed down a mudstone
11:56
bank later, they finally arrived at the water's
11:58
edge. Right,
12:03
here we are. Gosh, you'd think
12:05
you were by the ocean. I can't even see
12:08
the other shore. It's well past the horizon, but
12:10
we don't need to go that far. The train cross
12:12
is just a few miles in from here. We just
12:14
need to flag down a punt. What? A
12:16
punt! Little flat boat use a pole to push
12:19
it along. That's what they have here. Who? The
12:22
university. I thought the flood destroyed it all, apart from
12:24
Gertin. The buildings, yes, but... Look.
12:28
Clara squinted at the horizon and saw,
12:31
floating along in the shimmering light, a
12:33
tiny wooden object that must, given the
12:35
distance, have been a gigantic boat. It
12:39
had no sails or obvious means of propulsion of
12:41
any kind. It didn't even seem
12:43
to have portholes. It was just a big,
12:45
rounded wooden box, drifting wherever the water took
12:47
it. Squinting harder,
12:49
Clara could read on its hull,
12:52
painted in enormous tar letters, the
12:54
words Peterhouse College, and in slightly
12:56
smaller tar letters, the words Other
12:59
Colleges Stay Away, We Have Canon. But
13:02
why haven't they all left? Well, still
13:05
a university. Beats the real
13:07
world. Of course, there is such
13:09
a thing as being too sceptical, and that
13:11
is why Descartes lost every game of cards
13:13
he ever played. Oh, here comes a punt
13:15
now. Hello? Uh, oh,
13:17
hello? Could we come aboard, please?
13:20
We're in the middle of a tutorial. We're in
13:22
the middle of pursuing a fugitive. How
13:25
bad a fugitive? How bad? Lives
13:27
are at stake. Mmm. Lives,
13:30
you say? Well, this is a philosophy tutorial.
13:32
Oh, god. And
13:35
most theories of ethics would agree that
13:37
death is a bad thing. So,
13:40
we can come aboard? Well...
13:42
Forget it, let's just swim. How
13:44
are we to know that this person
13:46
you are pursuing isn't acting for the
13:49
great good? She had us drugged and
13:51
bound to chairs, and she might be
13:53
involved in multiple murders. Well, perhaps had
13:55
she not done these things, even worse
13:57
outcomes would have occurred. The
14:00
utilitarian would say that we must calculate
14:02
the overall happiness of these different scenarios,
14:04
the actual and the possible, and that
14:06
will tell us which was the most
14:09
moral action. Well, I would do
14:11
that. Only many of the people I would
14:13
need to talk to have been actually, not
14:15
possibly, eviscerated. Tricky. No, it
14:18
isn't. Couldn't you argue that some actions are
14:20
just wrong? Well, the deontologist
14:22
would certainly say so. But
14:24
how are we to decide
14:26
which, and which of these
14:28
opposing ethical systems, is the true one?
14:32
Only with thoughtful study. And
14:34
how are we to propagate the techniques
14:37
of thoughtful study? With
14:39
tutorials unimpeded by prospective
14:41
stoways such as yourselves. I'm
14:44
sorry, absolute certainty in most philosophical
14:47
matters is a mirage, and our
14:49
primary duty is the contemplation, rigorous
14:52
intellectual investigation, and the sharpening
14:54
of the blaze of inquiry
14:56
with the whetstone of structured
14:58
argumentation. We'll pay
15:00
you. All right, then. The
15:05
train crossing is a mile due east. Sit
15:08
back and relax. We'll be there in no time. How
15:11
long do we have, Fleet? It's a floating bridge,
15:13
so the train has to slow down to cross.
15:15
But even so, it'll be close. Well,
15:18
with Mr Roberts here on the pole, you've got the
15:20
best of chances. Isn't that right, Mr Roberts? Yes. Are
15:25
you all right? I had no idea how difficult
15:27
punting was. Oh, it's not
15:30
normally, but the lake is
15:32
quite deep, so to reach the
15:34
bottom, the pole is very long.
15:36
Yes, yes, enough excuses, Mr Roberts.
15:38
Now, where were we? Syllogism? Syllogism?
15:41
Syllogism, that's right, Mr Searle. Example?
15:45
All men are mortal. Socrates
15:47
is a man. Therefore...
15:50
Yes? Socrates
15:53
is... something.
15:57
Not just something. You
16:00
can do it. Um... Socrates
16:03
is mortal. Very good,
16:06
sir. That does indeed
16:08
prove that Socrates is
16:10
mortal. Plus, he
16:13
snuffed it absolutely ages ago, so... Professor
16:15
Briggs, silly question. Roberts,
16:17
there are no silly questions. This
16:20
is philosophy. Couldn't you argue
16:22
that Socrates isn't mortal, because
16:24
we're still talking about him
16:27
today? Right.
16:29
Well, as I said, there
16:31
are no silly questions, but... There
16:34
are some that are bad and miss the point. When
16:36
you said we'll be there in no time... Now,
16:39
can anyone give me an example of
16:41
an a priori statement? There's an enemy
16:43
ship approaching. Roberts, that
16:46
is clearly not a priori. That
16:48
statement stands on empirical evidence. No,
16:50
but now, where one to
16:52
say an enemy ship is not an ally
16:54
ship, that would be a
16:56
priori. You don't
16:58
need evidence to state that. But, sir,
17:01
look! Oh! Another
17:04
punt! Well, spotted, sirs!
17:06
Roberts, why didn't you
17:08
say something? Sir, use the glass. Which
17:12
college's colours do they fly? St
17:15
Catherine's, sir. Hmm. Is
17:18
that bad? They're not a declared enemy,
17:20
but we've had our run-ins. Which college
17:22
are you? Sidney Sussex. Part
17:24
of the St John's Alliance. Bring us
17:27
to a stop, Mr Roberts. Is that really
17:29
necessary? That depends. Can you swim? Yes. After
17:32
they've fired a harpoon through you? Probably
17:34
not for very long. Sorry, I
17:36
have a question about syllogisms. I said hold
17:39
stop, Mr Roberts. Oh. Ahoy!
17:41
Sidney Sussex vessel. You're less
17:44
than a hundred feet from Trinity College waters.
17:46
Turn back. And what concern is
17:48
that of yours, St Catherine's vessel? You
17:51
are allied to no one but yourselves
17:53
and opportunity. On the contrary,
17:55
we are part of the Great Trinity Alliance
17:57
now. Blast! I
18:00
didn't want to believe the rumours. Trinity
18:02
grows more powerful by the day. Are
18:04
you at war? The war is piled,
18:07
but mercifully the kindling has not yet been
18:09
sparked. What on earth are you all
18:11
even fighting about? Look around you. There's
18:14
nothing here. I mean,
18:16
this is temperature. There was nothing here before either.
18:19
But now, even the nothing has been
18:21
flooded. All we have
18:23
is the fish. You fight over fish? We
18:26
fight over survival. Your answer,
18:28
Sidney Sussex vessel. Do you have anything you
18:30
can give them? No. We've
18:32
got something we can give them. No,
18:35
please don't. What subjects do
18:37
you teach, St. Catherine's vessel? This
18:39
is a medicine and physiology tutorial punt.
18:42
This is Mr. Peters and Mr. Smythe.
18:45
They're in their first year. Hello!
18:48
First year medics! We
18:50
might get through this alive after all. So,
18:54
deploy the quandary barrage.
18:57
Sir? I said deploy
18:59
the barrage! Oh, non-philosophists!
19:02
I won't. I can't! Sir, this is
19:04
the moment you've been training for! Why
19:07
do you think we drill these things? For
19:09
fun? I'll do it, sir. Robert?
19:12
No. You're not ready. St.
19:14
Catherine's vessel! Come here, you two, for the
19:17
love of God! Really? Do it if you
19:19
want to live! Listen to him, fleet. Oh,
19:21
fine. St.
19:23
Catherine's vessel! Your anatomy training tells
19:25
you that the body replaces itself
19:28
over and over again every ten
19:30
years or so on average. Yes?
19:33
What of it? If that is so, then
19:35
are you the same person as before? What
19:38
allows you to think so? Are your memories
19:40
really yours? Are your accomplishments? Oh...
19:44
Oh... There is
19:46
a barber in a town. He shaves every man who
19:48
does not shave himself. Who
19:50
shaves the barber? If it is him, then he must
19:52
not, and if not, then he must! Does
19:58
God know how you will... Act! If
20:00
so, then you have no free will! If
20:02
not, then we have no god! Aaaaaaah!
20:07
Consider a heap of sand! Robert,
20:09
no! That's enough! They've had enough!
20:12
Aaaaaaah!
20:15
Are you finished? Yes. Yes,
20:19
we can pass. What on Earth
20:21
have you done to them? They'll be alright in
20:23
a few minutes. Robert's only gave them
20:25
a quick volley. As long as they
20:27
didn't think about it all too much, they'll be fine. That'll
20:30
teach them to cross philosophers. Mr.
20:33
Roberts, to the train crossing, if you
20:35
please. Aye aye, sir. And,
20:38
Mr. Sir? Yes?
20:41
The college principal will hear of this. And
20:44
once we get to the bridge crossing, I
20:46
think it's about time you took over the punty.
20:50
Yes, sir. Fleet
20:55
and Clara's tiny boat of abstract learning
20:57
and maritime warfare made its way across
21:00
the great Fenland Lake. Eventually,
21:02
they noticed the horizon moving towards them.
21:05
Or, not the horizon, but a straight line that
21:07
had been penciled from end to end across it.
21:10
As the center of the line grew thicker, they
21:12
realized they could see more water beyond it. After
21:15
a while, they could see the line
21:17
sitting atop an endless chain of letter M's.
21:20
Large barrels of some kind undulating on
21:22
the water and baffling its movements, leaving
21:24
the flat line more or less still.
21:27
As they came closer, the line revealed itself
21:30
as a platform, twice the breadth of the
21:32
train, with sleepers and tracks
21:34
running along its length, and vanishing into
21:36
the distance in both directions, like waves
21:38
in the sea. Right.
21:43
Here we are. Thank you for the lift,
21:45
Professor. You're very welcome. My decept,
21:47
and make sure you catch that train.
21:49
Who knows when another boat will be along here. We
21:52
will. Are you sure we can't
21:54
send help of some kind? This life
21:56
you're leading out here seems dangerous.
21:59
Oh, life's... is dangerous, Miss Entwistle. None of
22:01
us are going to make it out alive.
22:04
I suppose. We are a flicker
22:06
of a candle in the night. The
22:09
question is, given the short time we have,
22:12
how should we live? You have an
22:14
answer? There are as many
22:17
answers to that question as there are drops
22:19
of water in this lake, Inspector. What's
22:21
yours? To make sure people
22:23
keep asking it. So,
22:27
put your bag into it. If we don't
22:30
get back to friendly waters before nightfall, we're
22:32
fish food. And how's that going to help
22:34
you pass your final exams? Roberts,
22:38
join me on high table this evening. We're
22:40
having whatever bird the chef was able to
22:42
shoot out of the sky. How
22:50
long has it been? Really? How
22:52
long? Eight
22:54
minutes. What time is the train
22:56
to get here? Soon. How soon? I don't know.
22:59
They don't have exact time for when it gets
23:01
some distance across a floating bridge. They should. Well,
23:03
you can write to them right after we search
23:05
the train and find Francis Byrne. What
23:08
are you doing? Picking a stone. It's
23:10
mostly gravel under the sleepers, but there's some good
23:12
ones. Good. A skinny fleet.
23:15
Watch this. Well, not bad. Your
23:18
turn. No. Go
23:20
on. I'm fine. Well, that's
23:22
right. You haven't met. Met? Met
23:24
who? Fun fleet. You haven't met fun. I'm
23:26
not rising to that. Of
23:28
course not. That would be dangerously close to fun. Nice
23:31
try. Fleet, in
23:33
the whole time I have known you, you
23:35
have been entirely reluctant, in my presence at
23:37
least, to do anything that most people would
23:39
call fun. Am I going to have
23:41
to threaten to not get on this train unless you skim a stone?
23:43
Are you threatening that? Not
23:46
yet, but I think you shouldn't put me in
23:48
the position of having to. Alright. There.
23:55
What was that? That was a decent
23:57
lob, I thought. It didn't bounce at all. That
23:59
was too much. Terrible I thought we were
24:01
going for distance for distance. That's not how
24:03
this game works. Maybe you do it differently
24:05
up north There
24:09
even further that time you're having me
24:11
on fleet I refuse to believe you don't know
24:14
what skimming a stone is well Maybe I don't
24:16
want to embarrass you with my superior skimming You
24:18
can't refuse to play and say it's because you're
24:20
afraid you'll win you're absolutely fiend your
24:22
goat I think your first one
24:25
was lucky anyway lucky watch this
24:31
How about that higher clary you need to
24:33
throw it much higher you can ruin anything
24:35
you drove me to this wait listen The
24:39
train is coming can't see it You're
24:43
right. It's there. It's coming remember the
24:45
plan. I think plan rather oversells it It's
24:47
a simple plan, but still a plan. It's
24:50
waving our arms and shouting. See you know the
24:52
plan. I'm fully brief This is fun. I've
24:54
never held up a train before we're not bandits.
24:56
We're just gonna flag it down. We'd be terrific
24:58
bandit Let's just see how our current line of
25:00
work goes Are you ready?
25:02
I'm ready It's
25:06
slowed down because of the floating bridge isn't it it
25:08
has you might have a little while yet All
25:16
right, it's nearly here. I'm sure they can see us
25:18
now time to begin phase one of
25:20
the plan There's more than one phase no,
25:23
but it is nevertheless phase one
25:25
on three one two three
25:40
He's pointing at his watch and shaking his head
25:43
worried about the time doesn't make the train
25:45
late I I'm
26:03
not going to hide you,
26:06
you! Ah! Grab
26:10
my hand, Pete! Ready? One,
26:12
two, that one! Me!
26:17
Ah! Dammit! Ah!
26:23
Ah! I'll
26:26
have a kiss. Yours
26:29
last carriage, no, no, no! Take
26:45
it, sir? Give me a minute! Phew!
26:52
Now then, I think I saw Fleet jump
26:54
on all right. Let's hope so. Time
26:57
to move to plan B2. Fleet's
26:59
at the back, I'm at the front, we'll sweep
27:02
through from the ends, and one of us will
27:04
nab Francis Byrne. That's even better
27:06
than plan A! Now, what
27:08
carriage is this? Observation
27:11
lounge. All right. And
27:14
of course we wish the students and Daunts
27:17
of Cambridge all the best in their battle
27:19
against the waters, each other, and everything that
27:21
escaped from the Zoology Department's House of Crocodilians.
27:24
Let's have a hound for Cambridge, everyone. Now,
27:28
we will shortly be exiting the Fendland Lake
27:30
Crossing and heading back into London proper. First
27:33
at sea level, and then gradually upwards
27:35
onto viaduct level as we return to
27:37
the dense cityscape of our glorious capital.
27:40
Sir, what have you been told in the past about
27:42
looking out of train windows in London? Erm...
27:45
Don't quite write, because the
27:48
view of all those buildings and crisscrossing
27:50
bridges and innumerable clock towers and whatnot
27:52
really can do a number on you.
27:54
Particularly, and I do not like to
27:57
say this, but it is science on
27:59
women. because of what we now
28:01
know to be their smaller, more delicate
28:03
conceptual shielding lobes. I'll keep my
28:05
eyes firmly closed, just as I do
28:07
at the theatre. Ah, but never fear, madam.
28:09
Here on the Gyratory we offer a
28:11
higher level of service than the average
28:14
train. The windows will become tinted, calming
28:16
sounds will be pumped into the room
28:18
to prevent your brainwaves from turning into
28:20
brain tsunamis, and if all else
28:22
fails, I'll be on hand to bring you back
28:24
to the here and now, so you'll be able
28:26
to enjoy the view in total safety. Doesn't that
28:28
sound like fun? Um, excuse
28:31
me, I'm looking for someone, a
28:33
young man. Can't help you, miss. We've
28:36
all been looking out of the windows
28:38
at the lake, I'm afraid. There's just
28:40
something so very calming about a nice,
28:42
big lake. Not to mention today we
28:44
were lucky enough to witness the rare
28:46
sight of Corpus Christi, Sir Mercer College,
28:48
majestically breaching fully ten feet above the
28:50
surface of the water. Possibly fair, possibly
28:52
for fun, possibly to avoid one of
28:54
the thousands of Hometon College naval mines.
28:56
Better luck next time, Hometon! Alright,
29:00
thank you. Not a problem. Now
29:03
everyone, let me just tint the windows and turn
29:05
on the brain sounds, and we will be ready
29:07
to observe the city. Well,
29:16
she wasn't in the baggage car. Let's try the cabins.
29:23
Yes? I'm looking for a woman hiding
29:25
on this train. Early 20s, 5'6", lean
29:27
build, black hair, forehead curls, blue eyes,
29:30
sparse eyebrows, long neck, deep, filtered and
29:32
prominent right ear, helix, over-pronating gate. Why
29:34
are you sopping wet? I was in
29:36
the lake. I didn't know we were
29:38
allowed to go for a tip. Have you seen a woman
29:40
by that description? Can't say that I have. Do you have
29:43
a towel? Fresh out, I'm afraid. Thank you! Yes?
29:51
I'm looking for a woman hiding on this
29:53
train. Early 20s, 5'6", lean build, black hair,
29:55
forehead curls, blue eyes, sparse eyebrows, long neck,
29:57
deep, filtered and prominent right ear, helix, over-pronating
29:59
gate. over pronating gate. Over
30:01
pronating gate? No. Right. Sorry,
30:04
but you have seen someone matching every other
30:06
part of that description. Oh, no. Right.
30:09
Do you have a towel? Yes. Oh. Does
30:12
it have to be dry? Yes. Oh, then no.
30:14
Why would I want a wet towel? Do you
30:16
think I'm collecting all the water I can? Thank
30:18
you, goodbye. Oh god. Hello?
30:32
Hello. Have you seen a woman? Oh, he's
30:34
seen a woman alright. You're
30:38
not a steward. Correct. Listen,
30:40
my fellow, no need to tell anyone about
30:42
this. Keep it on to your hat.
30:45
I don't care what you're up to. It's not
30:47
what it looks like. It is, but I don't
30:49
care. I'll be ruined. You really won't. I'm just
30:51
looking for someone. We were just looking for someone.
30:53
A companion. My thing's different. Is there anything I
30:55
can do to keep this between us? Do
30:58
you have a towel? Other than the ones we're
31:01
wearing? Yes. I think they're the only
31:03
ones. That's fine. Now have mine, my
31:05
good friend. No, stop. It's clean. We
31:08
just put them on to come to the door.
31:10
Just let me... Sir! Sir!
31:12
Come back! It's fluffy.
31:15
Sir! Right.
31:20
Signal carriage. Hello,
31:26
do you work here? I do, sir. Welcome
31:28
to the signal carriage. Can I
31:30
interest you in a locution call? Telephone?
31:32
Telegram? We've got it all. Well, just
31:35
those three, really. I'm looking for a
31:37
woman hiding on this train. Early 20s,
31:39
5'6", lean build. Might
31:41
you be Inspector Fleet? How'd you know
31:43
that? You have a call waiting for
31:46
you. Really? Yes, sir. On the locution
31:48
glass in booth 5. What on earth
31:50
knows I'm even on this? Chief Inspector
31:53
Schneller, sir. Schneller? You mean Keller? Chief
31:55
Inspector Schneller said you'd say that.
31:58
And he said to tell you that, of course, he is... not
32:00
Keller. How could he? When
32:03
you clearly are Keller, you said so
32:05
to the Telegram operator when you used
32:07
the Chief Inspector's personal security access code
32:09
to reconfigure the city's Telegram network. Yes,
32:12
well I'll have to call him back.
32:14
I'm in pursuit. Chief Schneller also
32:16
said you'd say that, and he
32:19
said, tell Fleet that
32:21
unless he wants to be pursued,
32:23
find me, cross the earth, until
32:26
his legs collapse and the last sting he
32:28
hears is the sharpening of the blade I'll
32:30
use to turn him into trout bait, and
32:32
he knows there's nothing he can do
32:35
to prevent or delay his piscine comeuppance.
32:37
Then he'll answer the damned call. Alright
32:40
then. Just go into the booth and I'll connect
32:42
you. Fleet? Hello, sir. I
32:44
can't see you. Maybe this is the way you're going. I
32:56
am on a train, in pursuit of a possible murderer.
33:02
Can you see me? I can. How many
33:04
fingers am I holding up? No fingers? That seems to be
33:06
a knife. done?
33:11
Yes, and I'm sorry about the invoice. What invoice?
33:13
No, never mind, there's no invoice. You
34:00
disappear for days without report, and now you've
34:02
launched some sort of telecommunications warfare on the
34:04
city. I am sorry about that, but it was to
34:07
track someone very dangerous. We know she has
34:09
a connection to the beast, and she's somewhere on this train, and
34:11
we have to find her before we arrive. Are you damp? Where
34:13
do you sound damp? Why are you damp? I
34:15
am damp. I sound damp because I am damp, and
34:18
I am damp because I fell into the Great Fend
34:20
and Lake, and the only people on board this train
34:22
with clean towels need them to cover their shame. Well,
34:24
if you're pursuing someone along a train, you
34:26
put a natural advantage, which should go some
34:28
way towards counterbalancing your numerous natural disadvantages. Yes.
34:31
If possible, set up a pressure movement, or
34:33
person any gents like a fast crab, snipping into the
34:35
train. Hence the name. Exactly,
34:37
Fleet. You'll want to proceed with care, but speed.
34:39
Swift caution. And be aware that when you corner
34:41
the suspects, you will have no option but to
34:43
lash out at you. Be ready for anything. I
34:45
am. Are you, Fleet? Because this
34:47
is exactly the situation I was in with Leon Gorn. The
34:50
Professor of Poisons? He depressed made that
34:52
title up. His field was organic chemistry, and I
34:54
think he was only a lecturer. Well liked by
34:56
his students, but still behind on publications. You know
34:58
how the academic world is. I don't, but I really should
35:00
be going. Leon had fled onto the 11th 19th to Badhampton. I
35:03
got on a trip, and I spied him in third from
35:05
us reading the sports session, if you please. Sir. Now,
35:08
he already knew who I was, so I had to
35:10
hide myself here, and a woman who was walking to
35:12
her seat carrying a challenge. Sir. Only the now thing
35:14
made such a racket, score king-flopping, that Gorn spotted me
35:16
sprung up, pushed a small glass bottle out of his
35:18
pocket, and covered his mouth and knows where the hackers
35:20
are. Sir. Gorn.
35:23
Me. Poison. Turret.
35:27
I know what you're thinking. Throw the birds or a Gorn straight like a javelin.
35:29
The Lord crossed my mind as well. You
35:34
may see him. This tree has
35:37
everything. Hello?
35:42
The thing is, commodities markets are
35:44
absolutely dog-eat-dog. Dog-eating, by dog. You've
35:46
got to be top dog, you know. Not bottom dog.
35:49
Top of the zone. Later on, the pack. Excuse
35:51
me. It's every dog themselves out there. You
35:54
place your bets, you win, you lose, but
35:56
it's you, your wits, your inserts, your
35:58
guts. Not everybody has that. How
36:00
could they? I could say. And that's not
36:02
a judgement. It's just, capital is the blood
36:04
and we're the brain, you know? We tell
36:06
it where's the gauntlet. Left foot. Left foot
36:08
for a bit. Now the hand, now the kidneys,
36:11
who knows? I'm not a doctor. But the
36:13
fund is up. Q over
36:15
Q. Just ears, but fuck. Can't
36:17
argue with numbers. Excuse me! Oh,
36:19
sorry, man. Didn't see you there. Keeping the
36:22
body tip-top, keeps the world sharp, you know? Yes.
36:24
Have you seen a woman running through here? She's
36:26
a fugitive. She's made some
36:28
poor choices. Oh, bet. Haven't seen her.
36:31
Focusing on the skits. Alright. Thank
36:33
you. Pointing! We make
36:35
a difference. Everybody else, just and
36:37
hands. Where should my taxes be for
36:39
people to sit about? Stop my fault
36:41
there. Shots blows down a hundred miles
36:43
away. Let everybody figure out their own
36:45
path, you know? We're all just dogs
36:47
in the end. Scrapping it out. Let
36:49
the top dog win. A telegram for
36:51
you, Mr Ward. Ah, this'll
36:54
be the office. Top dog headquarters. Let's
36:56
see what's happening at the channel. Good
37:03
afternoon, Miss. Welcome to the on-board
37:05
boutique. Thank you. I'm looking- Can I
37:07
interest you in a fragrant soap or
37:09
bath salt? We have the entire Casa
37:11
Pazosa collection. No, thank you. I'm looking-
37:13
Magnum of Cabernet? Box of snuff?
37:16
Free-range Piccadilly? No, really. It's all
37:18
due to free? Really? Why?
37:20
This train doesn't cross any border. True. But
37:22
it also never stops for more than 15
37:25
minutes. So technically, we are
37:27
exempt from British customs laws. No,
37:29
I'm Abt the souvenir gyratory snow
37:31
globe. It isn't a getaway without
37:33
a souvenir and the Hana getaway. I'm
37:35
trying to stop someone getting away. And
37:38
what an experience to remember. Just what
37:40
souvenirs are all about. Lounge
37:48
bar. Good. Someone must have seen something.
37:51
And so you are asking yourself why
37:53
I, Inspector Bouvet, have summoned all eight
37:55
of you here to the lounge. And
37:58
it is for this reason- As
38:00
we know, Mr. Winston was murdered
38:02
last night as he slept in his cabin.
38:05
And the culprit is in this room.
38:11
Who could it have been? The possibilities
38:13
are many. George Winston
38:15
was, after all, an appalling person
38:18
who wronged all eight of you
38:20
in serious but different ways. Ways
38:22
that shine a light on his and
38:24
your colorful pasts. And yet, George
38:27
Winston was stabbed by only seven
38:30
people. Which means one of
38:32
you is not a murderer. It's
38:36
true. And I know who
38:38
it is that sits guiltlessly among you.
38:41
But rather than just tell you and do something
38:43
about it, I'm first
38:45
going to go painstakingly through the
38:47
details of everything I have learned
38:49
since getting on this train. No,
38:54
no. This is just how we do it.
38:56
There's no use crumbling. It's your own time
38:58
you're wasting. Excuse me. Yes? I'm looking for
39:00
a woman hiding on this train. Early 20s,
39:03
5'6", lean build. I
39:05
don't see what this has to do
39:07
with the murder last night of George
39:09
Winston. It doesn't. This woman only got
39:11
on board today, but... Then it is
39:13
of no consequence. She could be very
39:16
dangerous. The danger to George Winston has
39:18
already occurred. Trains can have more than
39:20
one crime on them. Anyone. Woman
39:22
running through, hiding out. Do
39:24
not answer him. Really? Really.
39:27
Fine. All of you ask that
39:29
man sitting there why he's the only one
39:31
not sweating. Hey! Don't you solve my case!
39:33
Already have. Get out of here! I'm going.
39:39
Right. We begin
39:41
as I boarded the train yesterday
39:43
evening. Shut up!
39:47
My first encounter was a class of suitcases with
39:49
the Colonel here. Who I noticed
39:51
immediately moved more spryly than you would
39:53
expect from a man with a cane.
39:57
Oh... If indeed it was...
40:00
The King, that is! Aaaah!
40:06
Right, dining car. Must be nearly in the middle now.
40:08
No Francis Byrne, no Francis Byrne, no Francis Byrne, no
40:10
Francis Byrne, no Francis Byrne, no Francis Byrne, no Francis
40:12
Byrne, no Francis Byrne, no Francis Byrne, no Francis Byrne,
40:14
no Francis Byrne... Hello Fleet, any sign of her? Yes,
40:16
but she was sleeping so peacefully I thought I'd leave
40:19
her. I'm ignoring that. And yet also acknowledging it. She
40:21
wasn't that way either. This train is very
40:23
odd, isn't it? It is. Waiter,
40:26
any word on our sole mignon? Clearly
40:29
not a waiter. Miss Fab West Home. Oh,
40:31
that explains why you're drenched.
40:34
No, it doesn't. Debris, Inspector,
40:36
Miss Entwistle, what brings you
40:38
aboard this train? We're pursuing Francis Byrne. Of
40:40
the Burnet? Of the Burns? Yes. She was
40:42
the person pretending to be the bargainer in
40:45
the Boundary Forest. And we
40:47
think she might know something about the beast. What
40:49
makes you think that? Because when we spoke with
40:51
her about it, she drugged and kidnapped us. A
40:53
reasonable conclusion. What brings you aboard? The
40:56
finest sole mignon on wheels. Eventually!
41:00
We left you tracking the beast, and now you're here
41:02
for a nice fish. Of course we are not on
41:04
this train for the fish. Well,
41:06
it's not the sole reason.
41:18
Mary, are you laughing? Yes,
41:20
for the first time. Of course not.
41:22
Not more than the tenth, though, right?
41:24
No one can resist Gertie's charm forever.
41:26
You still think you are insufferable. Varen,
41:29
my dear, I think you mean... ...and
41:31
adjudicating. And you're on the train because...
41:33
Well, you left us last night as
41:35
we were still searching for evidence of
41:37
the black dog in the Boundary Forest. But
41:39
by that point, it was getting late,
41:42
so old Gertie whips up a quick
41:44
shelter out of Brancher. Five-star
41:46
woodland accommodation. It
41:48
was...effective. And then we
41:50
realized we were famished, so we did
41:53
a little midnight hunting together. We
41:55
captured a pheasant and... Good lord.
41:58
Oh, don't be squeamish, Inspector. It says you may... as
42:00
possible. Far worse predators roam the
42:02
forest. A quick death in nature
42:04
is a mercy. Well, and let
42:06
me say it. He might speak
42:08
I could see his headmaster, but he is
42:11
in fact quite the new behind him. He
42:13
didn't even need a trap. He just caught
42:16
the poor bird out of the air as it flew past
42:18
us. Its kin will learn to fly higher.
42:20
So we subbed on pheasant and mushroom,
42:23
hunkered down in our little shelter together,
42:25
and in the morning, fresh as daisies,
42:27
we succeeded in finding the beast's tracks.
42:30
In truth, it was Miss Babworth-Pome
42:32
who first noticed the prince. Despite
42:35
her showmanship, she is a rather
42:37
excellent tracker. I confess she
42:40
might even be more skilled than I.
42:42
It's true. The eyes of a hawk, the
42:44
nose of a bloodhound, and the thighs of a
42:46
mare. Sorry, how does
42:48
the thighs help? Fleet. Eventually, however, the
42:50
Black Dog's trail ran cold. We know
42:52
it found a way into the city
42:54
somehow, but we could not retrace it.
42:56
So we decided to head back to
42:58
resume the search. And we went our
43:00
way to this train to get home. I
43:02
mean, after roughing it in the woods, I
43:04
think we deserve a little luxury, don't you?
43:07
Well, while you two are enjoying Hote cuisine...
43:09
Not enjoying it yet, are we, my boy?
43:12
See a soul minion in front of
43:14
me? Because I could have caught one,
43:16
baby! Well, we've been tracking our assailant.
43:18
She's clearly got something to do with
43:20
the beast, and she's on this train.
43:22
Is she? Well, we don't know. Have
43:24
you looked? That's what we should
43:26
have done. We've just searched from the front and the
43:28
back and met here. Have you looked
43:30
everywhere? Yes. Everywhere. Everywhere.
43:32
Stop asking! Either you missed somewhere or
43:35
she is not on the train. She
43:37
must be on the train. She can't
43:39
be, though. We searched literally every carriage. The
43:41
only way she could be on this train
43:43
is if she's driving it. Good
43:48
hunting! If you pass one, send
43:50
a waiter! Or a damned
43:53
fishing rod! Should we
43:55
go help them? Let's give them a head start. More fun this
43:57
way. Splash
44:00
more of the Viognier? Just a
44:03
splash Baron. I must Viognier my
44:05
best behaviour. Hello
44:14
again me. No thank you. Sir,
44:16
have you ever felt the delicate thrill of a
44:18
snow globe in your hand? Do I look like
44:20
I'm shopping? So,
44:24
some of our commodity trades turned out
44:26
to be dog's breakfast and the fun
44:28
is now 15 points underwater. Ugh, could
44:31
be better, but it's like I always
44:33
said, dogs don't hunt alone. They hunt
44:35
in packs. They're obscene. Clearly if one
44:37
dog suffers a horrific loss while trading
44:39
wheat features, the government has to step in and help out. Put
44:41
that tax money to good use. Oh, let
44:44
the dog just die. Some of us work
44:46
out that dog. The Viognier has to stick
44:48
together. So I sent everyone to dig deep.
44:50
Get that dog back on its feet. No
44:52
dog left behind. Lord,
44:55
they must. It's a waggy
44:57
tail out. Another telegram for you
45:00
Mr. Ward. Oh, what now? 60
45:05
bridges. No. 70. 44 schoolhouses.
45:07
841 roads. Stop
45:12
counting everything that's out there Henry.
45:15
Sir, sir, close your eyes. I implore you.
45:18
Miss, sir, please do not run.
45:20
We need a de-stimulating environment. We
45:22
have our own problems. Sorry. I
45:25
can see infinity. This
45:28
is Carrick in the observation lounge. Passenger
45:30
at theta level stimulation. I need sub-county
45:33
level cricket results and the weather forecast
45:35
for Aylesbury. I repeat, Aylesbury. Here,
45:41
this is for the driver's carriage. Open
45:43
up Miss Byrne. Stand back. No, let me do it. What?
45:47
I'll kick it in. I've been practising. On what? Doors.
45:49
1, 2, 3. Miss
45:53
Byrne. It worked. Stay back. No. She's
45:56
tied up the driver. Miss Byrne, we are detaining you as deputised officers
45:58
of the... Oh my
46:00
god! I told you to stay back! That's
46:03
true! Just come with us, Francis. We can-
46:05
Oh! Stop! Oh,
46:07
bloody hell. Stop
46:13
that woman! And someone go and
46:15
untie the driver! Henry! It's going
46:17
to be alright! Sir!
46:20
Sir! Hockham Trails, Newhampton by 91 runs
46:23
with 5 wickets remaining, and in the
46:25
under 19th North Pitman's Sturb versus Clovingham
46:27
was a draw. So
46:29
many viaducts. How
46:32
do they rest atop one another? Sir!
46:34
Sir! Listen to me! Madam, sit on
46:36
his chest. It will relax his heart.
46:38
Sir! The forecast for tomorrow is drizzle,
46:40
with patches of sunshine, but overall
46:42
quite grey. QUITE GRAY, SIR! STAY
46:44
WITH ME! Miss
46:48
Burn! Stop! DUCK! So, the government let
46:50
our hunt fail. A healthy dog, but
46:53
this league. Quite crooked, but an area
46:55
of capitalism itself. Or it contains the
46:57
roots of its own destruction. And that
46:59
cannot be a just society until the
47:01
worker is fully aware of their complicity
47:03
in their own subjugation. Including we work
47:05
at the fine act! We shall throw
47:07
down our pens and take up our
47:09
arms! Talk of the world! You know!
47:16
Miss, please be careful running past the- Snowglobe?
47:18
Miss Burn! Miss Burn, stop! Oh,
47:21
hello again, Sir and Miss. I
47:23
have some heavily discounted snowglobe here.
47:25
No! Duh! Devereys!
47:28
Stop that woman! What? Stop
47:31
that woman! Huh? But she's
47:33
just gone past her! Argh! Come
47:35
with us, you two! So, to
47:38
battle. But my snowman, yeah! It
47:40
just arrived! I'll buy you another
47:42
one! Oh, the sacrifices we
47:44
make for adventure! And
47:48
thus, the solution of the mystery.
47:51
The person who didn't murder George
47:54
Winston was... Dr.
47:56
Lionel Schweller! Oh! Lionel!
48:00
How could you? I'm sorry my darling.
48:02
I did it for us. Did
48:05
what? Did... D-d-d-dab
48:07
him. Well now I'm going to
48:09
go to prison! How does that help us?
48:11
I said I was sorry! Out of the
48:13
way! Look out! Please come with me, Dr.
48:15
Swale. Everyone else in here is
48:18
going to be arrested! You
48:20
can sort of just get on
48:22
with things. Alright, damn you. Naturally,
48:27
as soon as I subdued Gorn I strapped him to
48:29
the seat with the belt of every man in the
48:31
carriage. But there was still the issue of this bottle
48:33
of poison which now he'd shaken and was clearly cracking
48:35
under his own effigescence. I... Are you
48:37
still there, please? Yes, sir! Good. Now
48:40
I'm sure I don't need to tell you what to do with
48:42
a poison bomb that could go up at any moment, but my
48:44
instincts about what you know have been wrong before, so let's go
48:46
through it from the beginning. Sir. Sleeping
48:52
carriage, nearly at the end. He's back! Hello.
48:54
Sleep, do you know this half-dressed couple? No!
48:56
Get out of the way! We're in pursuit!
48:58
But we found all these towels for you.
49:00
What? That's ten! Take your pick! Please! I
49:03
don't want a towel! I want you to
49:05
get out of the way! But we have
49:07
to steal them from the steward's closet. My
49:09
fingerprints are all over it! Is there
49:11
no end to my ruination? Just
49:13
take one and forget everything you saw
49:15
here today. Fine! I'll take this one!
49:18
Now please, stand aside! Oh no! I
49:20
think that one's a bathmat! Why did you put
49:22
that one on top? They all look the same!
49:25
It'll do! Look! There!
49:28
Dry! And I don't know anything about you!
49:30
I do! You're Earl Briford
49:32
and the young Stanfield lady! Oh
49:34
god! Back
49:38
his car! End of the train! Stay
49:41
back! We just want to talk! Do you take me
49:43
for a fool? Don't make this any worse than it
49:46
already is, Miss Burn! Come with us! Never! Francis!
49:48
There's four of us and nowhere left to
49:50
run! You're out of option! A dangerous
49:52
misapprehension, Miss Antwistle. No one is out
49:54
of options until they are dead in
49:57
the ground. What a lovely sentiment, DeVries!
50:00
What are you doing? Stay where you are, Miss Burns. Please
50:02
do it! She's heading for the
50:05
roof. Looks like she means to test our metal.
50:07
The roof of the train? Are you serious, Miss
50:09
Burns? After you, Inspector. We can't chase someone along
50:11
the roof of a train. She'll get us all
50:13
killed. We can't let her get away. Get away
50:15
where? To the sky? She could have someone fly
50:17
over and pick her up for all we know. Or
50:19
she could head to the front of the train and
50:21
decouple the passenger carriages. Or she could just
50:24
wait up there until the train slows
50:26
for a station and jump off before
50:28
we're derived. Fine. She has options. After
50:30
you, Inspector. Er... There!
50:41
All here. Ah! This takes me
50:43
back. Too hot. Do not look out
50:45
to the sides. Do not look down.
50:48
We ride above the city now. Keep
50:50
your head. Halfway along the carriage already.
50:53
Stay low, everyone. Forward!
50:55
Bloody hell. See
51:02
where you are! Miss Burns, there is nowhere left
51:04
to go. Come with us. You will
51:06
be dealt with fairly. We are here.
51:09
Bridge or home? Stay low. Is
51:11
there... something standing on
51:13
the bridge? There is something standing on the
51:15
bridge. What is that? No. No.
51:18
If I had to guess... There is no need
51:20
to guess. No. It's running to the other side.
51:22
It will aim to match our speed. It's going
51:24
to jump down. Finally. I will meet you.
51:27
No. Ah!
51:33
A black dot! The beat
51:35
is impossible. Your music is in its
51:37
top. It's all over! The beat is
51:39
coming away! I love the band! You
51:41
have won it with water. It
51:44
will be twelve feet long. Let
51:47
go of me, Miss Burns. Debris, you're trained for
51:49
this. Debris? She.
51:52
You can't spare a jute! Debris!
51:54
What's wrong with him? Nothing's
51:57
wrong with him. She's just finding the speed. Take
52:00
him, can't miss it with us! Oh,
52:02
my God! She doesn't get us all!
52:04
Get off me, shoot it, Kara! I
52:06
said, end with us! You
52:08
cannot treat... ...Hate the dark!
52:13
Fire! Fire
52:18
again! He's
52:22
not doing anything! Is he fully proofed? No!
52:25
Not in a world where you've sought it! No! He
52:29
is not! He's really here!
52:31
Cut! I've had thrift about enough
52:33
of this! What are you
52:35
doing? Result 100% guaranteed, Miss Ex-Wister.
52:39
I've turned tight in the setting. What? Look
52:43
here, you gossip car! Give
52:46
old God, you cudd! Ahh!
